Defendant TCS Education Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's First Amended Complaint 49 Hearing held before Judge John A Kronstadt: The Court grants the motion to dismiss without leave to amend as to the second cause of action for negligent misrepresentation against TCS. The Court denies the motion to dismiss the third cause of action for misappropriation of trade secrets as to Defendant TCS, but grants the motion to dismiss the third cause of action as to Defendants Figuli and HEG, with leave to amend, so the Plaintiff can determine whether the agency claims regarding the Defendants can, in good faith, be pleaded in the alternative. (See attached Minute Order for further information). The Court denies the motion to dismiss the fifth cause of action for a violation of the unfair competition law. Plaintiff shall file its second amended complaint no later than 10/17/2011. The Court sets a Status Conference re Settlement for 11/28/2011 at 1:30 PM. Counsel shall file a joint report regarding their respective views on a settlement procedure by 11/21/2011.
